WhalesBot Moves AI Education From Screens to Physical Robotics

The Jiaxing site follows the launch of a sprawling 5,000-square-meter hub in Anhui Province, part of a broader expansion that includes a massive three-floor facility currently under development in partnership with Peking University. These spaces reflect a growing industry consensus that as AI generation tools automate basic tasks, educational value must shift toward reasoning, judgment, and adaptability in unpredictable environments.

WhalesBot is formalizing this approach through what it terms AI Foundations Learning, a curriculum that integrates robotics, engineering, and coding into a unified pathway rather than treating AI as an isolated digital subject. This methodology extends to the company’s ENJOY AI competition, where participants test systems under pressure and refine designs through iterative failure. By moving beyond digital interfaces, the company intends to prepare students for the demands of embodied intelligence, ensuring that practical problem-solving remains at the core of their technical development.
